Why is tile roof coating worth doing?

The true condition of a tile roof is often only visible when examining the tile surface up close. The porous surface of the tile reveals that the coating has worn away, sometimes completely.

The factory coating wears away over the years, revealing a faded and porous surface. Such a surface is vulnerable to moss and moisture-induced frost damage: when freezing water expands, it weakens the tile and eventually causes it to crack. Through a cracked tile, water can reach the underlayment, where it can cause damage. The purpose of tile roof painting is to restore a protective layer to the tile surface.

Tile roof coating done in time extends the roof's lifespan, and this way more extensive roof renovations can be avoided. This saves both the environment and money. Roof coating can be done on a building whose roof structure is otherwise in good condition.

Roof coating work starts with thorough preparation

Tile roof coating work begins with thorough cleaning of the tile roof and replacing damaged tiles with intact ones. The roof is washed clean of moss, leaves, twigs, and other debris with a powerful washer. At the same time, the gutters are emptied. After cleaning, a growth inhibitor is applied to the roof to prevent moss growth.

Double coating provides durability

After this, the coating is usually applied twice, depending on the roof. Edge areas are painted by hand with a roller, and the larger roof surfaces are coated with a backpack sprayer. We only use the highest quality tile roof paints. At the same time, roof safety products and the chimney can also be painted. Finally, the yard is cleaned up and the debris removed from the roof is taken to recycling.

An old roof looks like new after the coating work.

Frequently asked questions about roof coating

How often should a tile roof be coated?

The generally recommended coating interval is about ten years.

Why should a tile roof be coated?

When the factory coating has worn off, the roof tile becomes porous, absorbs moisture, and provides a growing surface for moss. When frozen, water expands, causing frost damage to the tile.

How do I know when a tile roof needs coating?

If the roof is over ten years old, ten years have passed since the last coating, there is moss on the roof, or the roof has faded.

How long does tile roof coating take?

Tile roof coating typically takes 2–5 days.

How does weather affect tile roof coating?

Coating cannot be done in rain, but weather conditions and time spent on the job do not affect the price.

How should we prepare for the upcoming project?

Homeowners generally don't need to make any special preparations. We take care of everything for you.
